Dr. Laura Florez-Gomez is a Licensed Psychologist and Nationally Certified School Psychologist whose work integrates clinical depth with a strong foundation in child and adolescent development. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from CUNY City College of New York, a Master’s degree from Iona University, and a Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD) from Fairleigh Dickinson University. For nearly a decade, she has practiced across school, community, and private settings, conducting comprehensive evaluations, providing psychotherapy, and partnering with families and educators to support the emotional, social, and academic growth of children and teens.

Dr. Gomez brings a thoughtful and developmentally informed perspective to her work. She understands how early experiences, relationships, and environments shape a child’s sense of self, and she is known for creating a therapeutic space where children, adolescents, and caregivers feel genuinely heard and supported. Her approach is warm, direct, and grounded in evidence-based practices that foster insight, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience.

LumaBloom Psychology was founded from Dr. Gomez’s commitment to providing high-quality, developmentally attuned mental health care for children and families in Westchester. After years of seeing families struggle to find specialized support, she set out to create a practice defined by thoughtful assessment, meaningful connection, and individualized care. LumaBloom reflects her belief that every child and family deserves a place where growth feels steady, supported, and possible.
